\u201cAmerican Fiction,\u201d \u201cMay December\u201d and \u201cPast Lives\u201d dominated the 2024 Independent Spirit Awards nominations on Tuesday, picking up five nodes apiece. The three movies are all up for best feature, where they will battle it out against \u201cAll of Us Strangers,\u201d \u201cPassages\u201d and \u201cWe Grown Now.\u201d<\/p>\n
The annual honors recognize the best of television, as well as film. \u201cThe Last of Us,\u201d a sci-fi epic that was a ratings hit for HBO, and \u201cI\u2019m a Virgo,\u201d an absurdist miniseries from Boots Riley that was produced by Amazon, led the small screen crop, with four nominations each. Only new TV shows that have run for one season and were released between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31 of this year are eligible for awards. That\u2019s why some big-budgeted fare was deemed eligible or, in the parlance of the show, independent.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s not the case on the feature front, where films have to be produced for less than $30 million in order to be considered. That\u2019s why early awards season favorites such as Searchlight\u2019s \u201cPoor Things\u201d and Netflix\u2019s \u201cNyad\u201d and \u201cMaestro\u201d were not up for any honors. There were some notable snubs that did meet the budget requirements. \u201cThe Holdovers,\u201d a critically acclaimed coming-of-age story, was nominated for four awards, but didn\u2019t get a best feature nod. And \u201cAmerican Fiction,\u201d which is considered to be a leading Oscar contender, scored a best feature nomination, but saw its director Cord Jefferson overlooked for his directing. Jefferson\u2019s script was nominated.<\/p>\n
The Indie Spirits don\u2019t separate performers in terms of gender, unlike the Oscars or the Golden Globes. Best leading performance in a film is a contest between \u201cPast Lives\u201d stars Greta Lee and Teo Yoo, as well as Jessica Chastain (\u201cMemory\u201d), Greta Lee (\u201cPast Lives\u201d), Trace Lysette (\u201cMonica\u201d), Natalie Portman (\u201cMay December\u201d), Judy Reyes (\u201cBirth\/Rebirth\u201d), Franz Rogowski (\u201cPassages\u201d), Andrew Scott (\u201cAll of Us Strangers\u201d), Teyana Taylor (\u201cA Thousand and One\u201d) and Jeffrey Wright (\u201cAmerican Fiction\u201d). Several notable indie performers, such as \u201cShowing Up\u2019s\u201d Michelle Williams, \u201cMay December\u2019s\u201d Julianne Moore and \u201cThe Holdovers’\u201d Paul Giamatti (\u201cThe Holdovers\u201d) were overlooked.<\/p>\n
In TV and streaming, best lead performance is a fight between Emma Corrin (\u201cA Murder at the End of the World\u201d), Dominique Fishback (\u201cSwarm\u201d), Betty Gilpin (\u201cMrs. Davis\u201d), Jharrel Jerome (\u201cI\u2019m a Virgo\u201d), Zoe Lister-Jones (\u201cSlip\u201d), Bel Powley (\u201cA Small Light\u201d), Bella Ramsey (\u201cThe Last of Us\u201d), Ram\u00f3n Rodr\u00edguez (\u201cWill Trent\u201d) and Ali Wong (\u201cBeef\u201d).<\/p>\n
A24, the hot indie producer behind \u201cPast Lives\u201d and \u201cThe Zone of Interest,\u201d was the most-nominated distributor, with 11 nominations. It was followed by Netflix, which picked up 10 nominations for films like \u201cMay December\u201d and series like \u201cBeef.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joel Kim Booster and Natalie Morales revealed the nominations on Tuesday morning. \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d alum Aidy Bryant will host the awards show on Feb. 25, with the ceremony starting at 2 p.m. PT. It will stream live on Film Independent\u2019s YouTube channel and IMDB.com from its signature Santa Monica beach tent location.<\/p>\n
